No. The FBI was investigating possible criminal acts by "anonymous" in sending threatening Honeycombe8 Nov 2012 #28

There was an FBI investigation. The FBI reports to Holder, who reports to the president. yardwork Nov 2012 #15

True. Now we have ANOTHER scandal...what the heck was the FBI doing? Honeycombe8 Nov 2012 #29
